Climbing Ideas #1

This project is an ongoing rapid prototype which is under development by Puya Afsharian & me …
Requirements :
4 x step motor
4 x El. Magnet
1 x Arduino
1 x Thin Aluminium plate
Components :
Magnet #1
Magnet #2
Magnet #3
Motor #1-1
Motor #1-2
Motor #2-1
Motor #2-2
Algorithm & states :
  • Initial state :
    Mag. 1,2,3 -> ON
    Motor 11,12,21,22 -> OFF
  • Lift state :
    Mag3 -> OFF
    Mag 1,2 -> ON
    Motor 12, 22 -> CCW ON
    Mag3 -> ON
  • Move Up Right state :
    Mag2 -> OFF
    Motor 11 CW ON MAX
    Motor 12  CW ON -> Vertical(Parallel with chassis)
    Mag 2 -> ON
  • Move Up Left state :
    Mag1 -> OFF
    Motor 21 CW ON MAX
    Motor 12  CW ON -> Vertical(Parallel with chassis)
    Mag 1 -> ON
and again to Lift state

The start, WallRover

Here is the place we are going to post about our ideas, codes, designs, development progress, photos and videos about our climbing robot, WallRover :-)
